How do you make Anthill cakes at home? First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Take the top grade flour. Condensed milk is thick, high-quality. Condensed milk should not be liquid and have an unnatural smell - this is a sign that the product should not be consumed. Sour cream is needed with a fat content of 20% or more. The oil should be of high quality, room temperature, so get it out of the refrigerator in advance.

Sift flour into a bowl. Add the soft butter at room temperature, sour cream and baking powder.

Knead the soft, elastic dough. Shortbread cannot be kneaded for too long, otherwise the biscuits will be hard. In the first moments of kneading, the dough is quite sticky, but as it is kneaded, when the ingredients are combined with each other, the dough thickens and separates from the hands. I did not need additional flour, but if when kneading the dough sticks strongly to my hands, you can add 1-2 tbsp. l. Be careful, do not clog the dough with excessive flour!

Assemble the dough into a ball, wrap in film and put it in the freezer for 45 minutes.

Grate the chilled dough on a coarse grater onto a baking sheet lined with parchment. Place the baking tray in the oven preheated to 180 ° C for 10-15 minutes and bake the dough until golden. Time and temperature are approximately, focus on your oven. Cool the finished dough to room temperature.

Wipe the cooled grated dough into large crumbs with your hands.

Chop walnuts.

Combine the resulting crumb with boiled condensed milk and crushed walnuts.

Knead everything thoroughly. Condensed milk should spread throughout the liver and nuts.

Form not very tall cone-shaped cakes from the resulting mass. If the mass sticks strongly to the hands, slightly moisten your hands with water. I got 9 cakes.

Sprinkle some of the cakes on top with poppy or lower them with their tops into a bowl of poppy.

Pour the rest of the cakes with chocolate topping or melted chocolate from a pastry bag. You can do without poppy and topping - it will be delicious anyway.

Garnish the cakes with mint, fruit or berries and serve. Enjoy your meal!
